As we are going to attend the heaven worship ceremony tomorrow, we must dress up more solemnly.

Baoqin spent the afternoon wondering how to match princess Xiao's clothes and jewelry.

Xiao Xi collapsed on the soft collapse and read the script.

These scripts were sent to her by the crown prince. The content was very serious and full of Wei Guangzheng's breath. There was nothing colored at all. They were far less wonderful than her original scripts.

But better than nothing.

Some are better than none.

Xiao Xi began to yawn, and then couldn't help falling asleep.

When she woke up, it was dark outside.

The room was quiet.

A little turtle is lying at the foot of the bed.

Xiao Xi stretched out her finger and poked its turtle back.

"Luo Xiaoxi, why are you here?"

The little turtle's head immediately retracted, motionless, pretending to be a dead turtle.

Xiao Xixi feels that she is already very curtily, but Luo Xiaoxi is even more curtily than her. He usually finds a corner to lie down. Once he lies down, he can lie down all day. It is difficult for others to find him.

Even if it is found, it will immediately shrink up, like a patient with severe social terrorism.

Xiao Xi reached out and picked it up. Only then did he find that the place where it was lying was slightly bulging.

It looks like the blanket is not leveled.

If it's someone else, maybe you'll take back your sight at a glance and won't take this little thing to heart.

But Xiao Xi is different. She has an extraordinary keen intuition.

At this time, she felt that there should be something hidden underneath.

She opened a corner of the blanket and found a small paper bag lying quietly inside.

She put the little turtle aside, then picked up the paper bag and opened it. There was some white powder in it.

Xiao Xixi sniffed close, but there was no smell.

She dipped some powder with a silver hairpin.

As a result, the end of the silver hairpin stained with powder turned black immediately!

These powders are poison!

She looked down at the little turtle and asked, "Luo Xiaoxi, did you find this?"

The little turtle put his head into his shell and didn't move, just like a dead turtle.

Then Baoqin hurried in.

She said anxiously, "madam, it's bad!"

Xiao Qixi: "what's the matter?"

Baoqin said quickly, "Princess Bai, Princess Li and Duan Liangdi suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctor said they were poisoned after diagnosis and treatment. This matter has made a lot of trouble and has alerted the queen

The queen personally investigated the matter and found that concubine Bai, concubine Li and Duan Liangdi had only eaten in our Qingge hall and Wanhe hall except in their own palace today.

The queen suspects that this matter has something to do with you and Princess Jingbian. She sends someone to search Qingge hall and Wanhe hall.

Those people have arrived at the East Palace and will come to the Qingge palace soon.

Now that the prince is not in the palace, we can't ask the prince for help. What should we do about it? "

Xiao Xi listened to her finish and murmured, "I see."

Baoqin didn't know, so, "what did you say?"

Xiao Xixi showed her the poison in her hand.

"This should be the poison that poisoned Princess Bai and others. I just found it under the blanket at the foot of the bed."

Upon hearing this, Baoqin was stunned: "how could this poison be in the Qingge hall?!"

Her brain was so flexible that she understood the cause of the matter almost in an instant.

"Someone must have deliberately poisoned Princess Bai and others, and then planted the blame on you!"

If the package of poison had not been discovered in advance, when the people sent by the queen came to Qingge hall and searched the package of poison, Princess Xiao could not wash it even if she jumped into the river!

Baoqin knelt down and scolded herself: "it's the fault of the slave and maid. The slave and maid didn't manage the Qingge hall well. Outsiders took advantage of the opportunity to drill into the hole and beg the mother to punish!"

Xiao Xi said, "it has nothing to do with you."

She knew that Baoqin was very attentive to the management of Qingge hall and would not let outsiders take advantage of it.

Generally, there are only two possibilities for this kind of situation, either there are spies in the Qingge hall or thieves shouting to catch thieves.

Xiao Xixi will meet. If there is a traitor in Qingge hall, she can see it at a glance.

But in her opinion, everyone in the Qingge hall is normal without any difference.

Then there is only one other possibility left.

Someone is shouting to catch a thief.

Baoqin's eyes were red: "let's get rid of this bag of poison before those people come."

Xiao Cuixi: "this bag of poison can be disposed of, but what about the vegetables and chickens in our backyard?"

Baoqin froze.

She almost forgot the vegetables and chickens, ducks, pigs and geese in the backyard!

Once the people sent by the queen come to search, they will find out those things in the backyard.

The prince can allow concubine Xiao to grow vegetables and raise chickens in the palace, but the queen will never.

If she found the things in the back yard of Qingge hall, she would certainly let people clean up all the chickens, ducks, pigs, geese and vegetables, and the people in Qingge hall would also be punished.

Baoqin was so anxious that her eyes were red: "it's too late to clean up those things in the backyard now, madam, what shall we do now?"

Xiao Xi comforted, "don't be afraid, I have a way."

Baoqin asked, "what are you going to do?"

Xiao Xixi: "go and pour me a glass of water."

Baoqin immediately did so and brought her a glass of warm water.

Xiao Xixi poured all the poison into the water, then held it up and poured it into his mouth

Scared to death, Baoqin jumped up and hugged her arm: "madam, this is poison. You can't drink it!"

However, she was a little late.

Xiao Xixi has finished drinking the water. At last, he smashed his mouth. This poison doesn't taste good. It's not good to drink!

She put the empty cup into Baoqin's hand and comforted: "it's all right. I'm immune to all poisons and can't die. At most, I have a little pain in my stomach and may vomit some blood. I can recover after two days of rest."

Baoqin cried directly: "even so, you can't drink poison as water!"

Xiao Cuoxi: "this is the quickest way to clear the suspicion."

The quickest way to get rid of suspicion is to turn yourself from a suspect to a victim.

Xiao Cuixi: "wait, you remember to cooperate with me in the performance. If the other party insists on searching the palace, you will take people to play tricks, so that they can't do it. Do you know how to play tricks?"

Baoqin wiped her tears and sobbed, "I know."

"Just know. Go and wash the cup."

Baoqin took the cup and left.

Soon, the gate of Qingge hall was pushed open.

Quartz rushed in with a group of mammy eunuchs.

Quartz came forward to salute: "concubine Xiao, there are many concubines poisoned in the east palace. Some people suspect that it was your hand. In order to appease the poisoned concubines and clear your suspicion, the empress specially asked the slave to bring someone to search the Qingge hall."
